Today was the first day of true desperation. All the good food has been eaten so we had to get really creative for lunch. Upon opening the cupboard it appeared that there was hope, we had chunky, beans, and ramen. It was time for "Spring Staff Soup".

Hope was a poor choice of words.

Now it feels like there is a brick in my gut. "Spring Staff Soup" or "M&S Ultra Lunch" is probably the densest, most filling foodstuff ever created. This is a slight problem because in forty-five minutes I have to lead kids around the camp on foot for two and a half hours of orienteering. Right now all I can think of is hibernating for a few days while I devote all my energy to digestion.

I can now say that in the last twenty four hours the cooking of Mark and I has made one person bleed and convinced three people to curl up on their beds wishing they had skipped lunch. Wow, am I getting good or what?
